Rejuvenation - The Meters
In 1974, when long, grueling guitar workouts ruled the day, New Orleans producer Allen Toussaint was building hit records with a taut Morse-code style of rhythm guitar rooted in the marching-band and party beats of the Crescent City. That funky discipline defines this LP. The Meters were already respected Big Easy session players when they achieved a perfect balance of funk, rock and Dixie R& B on Rejuvenation gems such as "People Say" and "Hey Pocky A-Way." Listen closely and you'll hear Lowell George of Little Feat putting his slide guitar to work on "Just Kissed My Baby" — just enough to pan-sear this juicy cut.
